​

Even the most successful writers face rejection, bad reviews, and harsh critics - including the loudest critic of all: our own internal voice. This workshop first helps participants to identify the various ways that negativity can prove challenging in our writing efforts and then looks at a variety of tools to help manage and balance that. Through examples, discussion and a few practical workshops, the session is aimed at helping writers to feel confident and to remember that the "hard stuff" is a universal experience.
